Naina (2005)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Good movie but grossly overrated

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I wonder why this movie had three writers since all Shripal Morakhia did was rip-off almost every frame of the Pang Brothers' captivating movie 'Jian Gui'. Not only does it copy the aforementioned movie, but it does so terribly. Morakhia Bollywoodizes it by making the main character an NRI (non-residential Indian) based in England where everybody seems to speak Hindi. There are no songs but the romance between Naina and her psychiatrist looks rushed. The jump moments are laughably bad while the special effects are mostly adequate. Urmila Matondkar is competent. This is far from her best work but she is terrific in the non-'jump' scenes. What made her choose to do this? The rest of the actors are passable at best. I'm surprised the film was accepted at the Sitges Film Festival because I hardly see any appeal in it. It's a bad movie that has an Indian Hollywoodish B-grade feel to it.

This movie is truly worthy of its award nomination for best technical rerecording .....of another movie and while I was looking forward to Shripal Morakhia's venturing into future re-recordings of similar technical precision, I was pleasantly surprise to see that the tag-line for Morakhia's latest work "The Sick House" is identical to the title of the book "Lord Have Mercy Upon Us, London's Plague Years" by Steven Porter published in 2005. The genius of it all is that Shripal's new villain is to be known as the Plague Doctor.for some further variations to the "I see dead people"/they live among us" theme, check out 6th Sense, The Others and Angel Heart instead.Come give us another one!

I watched this and saw SCENE by SCENE as Naina ripped its script from "The Eye" (Jian Gui). From the little girl in the hall, the dead man in the elevator, etc. Creatively speaking, while the acting was good, they did NOT make an effort to reset the story to an Indian perspective. They didn't attempt to reform or wrap it in Indian religious mysticism. They just changed the actors and changed the set-- but kept the script nearly EXACTLY. And then the credits were purposefully little more than unreadable tiny blurred smudges. What made 'The Eye' striking was the fact that the Life/Death focused was rooted in East Asian religious outlook-- it was seeing the supernatural through a different lens. See the FIRST version-- THEN judge.

I was expecting a more chilling movie than "Bhoot" but it was not that scary.For most of us it looks like an adaptation of "The Sixth Sense" but in fact I saw a very very similar movie few days back and it was named "The Eye". The name of the original Chinese movie was "Jian Gui" (View more at "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325655/").Urmila's performance was good. Remaining cast was okay. The music and background score was quite average as compared with other Ram Gopal Verma's movies. The good thing was it has good pace and keep you glued to the seat.
